Obviously, if we know where a parent or suitable guardian is, they should be moved to where they are!

And ... we should go back to the Obama policy of letting (non-criminal adult) asylum seekers enter the US and find a place to live and give them temporary work permits, and then of course demand they show up to their hearings ... perhaps we should also entertain the idea of government-issued Rolexes for these folks ... not all that tasteful to me, but may work as a compromise.

But as far as kids who came here alone ... I'd say it's probably a more practical demand that conditions be dramatically improved where they're being held. Can't just turn them out onto the streets w/nobody to look after them.

These camps DID start under Obama (or maybe even before, but they grew a lot under Obama), and that's exactly why.
